THE FORCE/2Contacting Intec

Your FORCE/2 insulation blowing machine, the product of years of laboratory

and field testing, offers both the contractor and the homeowner exceptional

performance, total reliability, and ease of use.

It is designed and built to blow-in more than a ton of material per hour. No other

machine in its class can match the performance of the FORCE/2.

Because no insulation goes through the blower, the FORCE/2 is a virtual

workhorse, requiring only minimal maintenance. The direct drive feature also

means there are no chains for you to adjust or replace, ever.

Following the instructions in this manual,

setting up and operating the FORCE/2 on

the jobsite will be uncomplicated, quick,

safe, and easy. Once your work is finished,

end-of-the-day clean up is equally efficient.

Exceptional performance. Total reliability.

Ease of use. Those are the reasons why the

FORCE/2 is your best choice.

THE FORCE/2Overview, Cont.

OVERVIEW

THREE SUBSYSTEMS MAKE UP YOUR FORCE/2:

1. THE AGITATOR AND AIRLOCK. Your FORCE/2 runs on a 1-1⁄2 or 2 horsepower motor driving an enclosed gearbox. The gearbox drives both

the agitator and airlock components at a constant speed.

2. THE BLOWER MOTOR. Your FORCE/2 is equipped with either

a 105 or 116 CFM two-stage blower motor to push the material through the

hose and into the attic with optimum pressure and output. The blower is

connected to the air intake port of the airlock by a plastic hose.

3. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. Your FORCE/2 requires two

dedicated 20 amp grounded outlets. A circuit (outlet) rated lower

than 20 AMPS may cause premature tripping at the power source.

Always disconnect the power

cords before beginning any

maintenance. And as with all

electrical systems, never attempt

to operate your FORCE/2 with

either the operator or the

machine standing in water.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS. (See next page for drawings.)

A. Hopper: Upper component of the FORCE/2 where insulation

is loaded.

B. Base: Lower component of the FORCE/2 houses power

components, agitator motor, blower, gearbox, airlock and electrical

system.

C. Slide gate: Regulates the amount of material entering the airlock.

D. Electrical: Operates the on/off function of both the blower and

agitator motors.

E. Remote: Allows the control of the on/off function of both the

blower and agitator motors via a 100" control cable.

THE FORCE/2How the System Works Together

AGITATOR: Conditions the insulation material to an optimum configu-

ration, then sweeps the material into the airlock for distribution through the

hose.

AGITATOR MOTOR: Drives the gearbox. No maintenance is required.

Produces 1-1⁄2 HP @ 14.5 or 17.2 amps, 115 VAC. Optional motor 2 HP @ 21

amps, 115 VAC.

AIRLOCK: Moves the conditioned insulation material from the agitator into

the air flow from the blower. Airlock seals must be inspected regularly and kept

in good working order for the FORCE/2 to operate efficiently. We recommend

changing the airlock seals every 300 hours, 200,000 pounds of insulation or once

a year, whichever comes first.

BLOWER: Creates the airflow which propels the material from the airlock

into the hose for distribution. No insulation material passes through the blower.

The standard blower moves 105 CFM drawing 11.5 amps, 115 VAC or the

optional 116 CFM blower draws 12.5 amps at 115 VAC. See the maintenance

section for required service.

GEARBOX: Operates both the airlock and agitation system, the gearbox

requires periodic maintenance, including changing the oil at least once a year. See

the maintenance section for more details about changing the gearbox oil. If you

are working in cold weather, changing to Mobil 1 or 5W-30 high performance

synthetic oil will aid in cold weather start-ups. In addition, inspect the gearbox

and airlock alignment regularly. Alignment must be perpendicular to each other,

preventing excess wear on the airlock and gearbox shaft connection.

THE FORCE/2How the System Works Together, Cont.

REMOTE CONTROL:

Permanently attached to the main panel, the remote

control cord allows the operator to control the machine’s

on/off function from the attic. Both the agitator and the

blower can be operated independently by the remote

control. The blower speed control is built into the remote

cord to enable the operator to decrease or increase blower

pressure and air volume.

DETACHABLE REMOTE

The remote cord must be attached at all times in order

for the machine to operate. To connect, locate the keyed

positions on both the receptacle (Electrical panel) and

connector on remote cord. Insert connector into

receptacle and turn clockwise until it clicks in. To lock

remote cord into receptacle, turn blue outer ring on

remote cord connector and turn clockwise until it stops.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: Before connecting the machine to

electrical power, make sure all switches are in the "off " position. Connect

both supplied extension cords to dedicated 115V 20 amp grounded outlets. In

the home, refrigerator or freezer outlets usually fit the amperage requirements.

If necessary, these appliances can be temporarily unplugged, enabling the

FORCE/2 to use the outlet. Disconnecting

these appliances for the short time needed to

operate the FORCE/2 will not cause spoilage.

Remember to reconnect any unplugged

appliance after the job is finished. If your job

requires additional extension cords, make sure you use only a 10/3

cord for a 50 foot run or 8/3 cord for a 100 foot extension.

STARTING:

Operation from the Attic: To use the remote control feature for attic

operation, the switches on the main electrical panel must be in the "on"

position. Control the machine using the rocker switch on the remote cord.

Operation from the Ground: To operate the FORCE/2 from the

ground, the rocker switch on the remote control must be in the “on” position.

Operate the blower and agitator from the main electrical panel toggle

switches. Note: In cold weather, your machine is more difficult to start. If

possible, store your FORCE/2 in a warm area over-night before starting this

helps ensure the lubricant (oil) is warm,

enabling the bearings and gearbox to turn

freely.

HOSE SETUP, ATTIC:

Cellulose: For normal attic applications, use

a minimum of 100 feet of 3 inch hose on

your job. Longer hose length decreases both

capacity and material throw. Using 200 feet of

hose, capacity and throw will be reduced by

approximately 30%. If you must use a hose

longer than 150 feet, reduce the hose size to

2-1⁄2 inch diameter for the last 50'.

Fiberglass: Use a minimum of 150 feet of hose. Use 100 feet of 3” hose and a

50 foot section of 2-1/2” hose using a 3 x 2-1/2” steel hose reducer. This hose

configuration aids in the opening of the fiber and increases the throw of the

material.

Example of Hose Connections:

HOPPER SAFETY: Your safety is the most important consideration

whenever you are using any machine. Following the instructions in this manual

along with good common sense, should allow you to complete your job in a safe

and efficient manner. First, before loading your FORCE/2, follow all safety

considerations provided by the manufacturer of the insulation material you are

using, including wearing protective masks or respirators. Never wear loose clothing

or other items while running this machine. Failure to follow safety precautions may

result in permanent injury.

Any time you overload the hopper or place objects other than

insulation material into the hopper, you are risking personal

injury or equipment breakdown.

THE FORCE/2Set-Up and Operation, Cont.

14

LOADING THE HOPPER: Machine may be “on or off ” while loading.

Cellulose, place the bag of insulation material on the hopper. Use a knife to

open the bag so that the material falls into the hopper. Your FORCE/2 is designed

to self-feed. Fiberglass, place the bag on the side of the hopper. Cut the bag in

thirds and dispense one third of the contents gradually until the agitator breaks up

and conditions the material. Load the remainder of the material according to the

distribution rate. Empty no more than 1⁄3 bag at a time into the hopper, waiting

until at least 1⁄4 of the material has been used before adding additional insulation.

Forcing insulation material will cause overloading, electrical

failure or possible machine damage.

If the agitator stops or the circuit breaker on the electrical panel trips, unplug the

machine from electrical power. Remove the cause of the jam from the hopper. You

may have to empty all the insulation material to locate and remove the jam. After

clearing, reset the circuit breaker, reconnect power and continue normal operation.

BLOWING SIDEWALLS, CELLULOSE:

When blowing sidewalls, use the following settings and recommendations as

guidelines. Settings may change from job to job, material to material, or nozzle

to nozzle. Hose length and humidity may affect your results.

Two hole method, standard wall construction: 2" x 4" x 16" on center.

Hole size Slide gate opening Air Setting

2" 2" 100%1" 11⁄2" 100%5/8" 1" 100%

Keeping the material level consistent in the hopper will aid in achieving good

sidewall densities. A gradual transition in hose size will aid in the material flow

and help eliminate clogging. At the machine, start with 50' of 3" hose, connect

50' of 2-1⁄2" next and then connect 50' of 2". Use hose reducers and clamps to

connect the hose making sure all connections are tight see page 13 for

examples of hose set-up. If clogging or less than satisfactory compaction

occurs, adjust the slide gate inward by 1⁄2" increments until the situation clears.

If the problem persists, add an additional 50' of 2" hose and readjust the slide

gate setting, maximum hose length, 200 feet.

BLOWING WALLS:

Drill two holes into the wall, one 17" from the bottom and one 17" from the

top of the cavity. Always use the largest hole possible to prevent clogging.

Starting with the bottom hole, put the insulation nozzle into the hole, using the

remote, turn the blower on first, then the agitator. Fill the cavity until the

material stops flowing, turn off the agitator and allow the blower to push

additional material into the wall. Turn off the blower and wait a few seconds

before removing the insulation nozzle. Repeat the steps for filling the cavity

through the top hole.

FIGURING WALL CAVITY AREA

Measure wall cavity in inches. Multiply depth x width x height. Example:

(1) 31⁄2" deep x 141⁄2" wide x 925⁄8" tall = 4,700 cubic inches

(2) Divide 4,700 by 1,728 = 2.72 cubic feet in the cavity.

Each wall cavity may vary slightly.

(1,728 equals the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot.)

Actual pre-cut lumber dimensions:

2 x 4 x 8: 11⁄2 inches x 31⁄2 inches x 925⁄8 inches

2 x 6 x 8: 11⁄2 inches x 51⁄2 inches x 925⁄8 inches

CELLULOSE WET SPRAY

Your Force/2 can apply both wall-spray and spray-on materials. There are many

different types of material for these applications and depending upon the material

your results will differ. The Force/2 has been designed to apply most materials and

can recycle up 75/25 blend of Dry/Wet cellulose material. Using recycled material

will change the speed of the material traveling through the hose and will change

the impact (density) of the wall area being sprayed. It is recommended that you

test a small area of wall section to determine optimum machine settings before

starting the job. Loading of the hopper can affect the desired wall-spray job, we

recommend that when loading the hopper do not dispense wet material

into an empty hopper!, doing so may clog hose! Dispense wet material on top

of dry material and allow the agitator to blend the materials. Hose length, nozzle

orifice size and design play a key role to a successful application. The nozzle you

select will determine how to set up the machine. General guideline for

setting your machine; 100 feet of 2 or 2-1/2" hose, variable speed setting of

80-100% with the slide gate 1/4-1/3 open. When using 2 or 2-1/2" hose we

recommend using an insert tube to enhance setup and reduce the likely hood of

clogging the hose. For further information on Cellulose Wall-Spray or Spray-On

consult Intec or your local supplier of insulation material.

Your FORCE/2 will operate on power from a commercial-sized generator. No

household generators may be used due to the high inrush requirements of the

FORCE/2. Also, generators made by Honda, Yamaha, Coleman

and Generac are not recommended. While they are of high quality,

these generators do not have the inrush protection devices necessary to start the

FORCE/2 and protect the generator. The start-up requirement for a FORCE/2

is 9660 watts; normal operating requirement is 3300 watts. We recommend

a generator of not less than 9000 watts, 120 VAC. In addition, Intec

recommends generators that have a 50% power boost feature which aids the

generator in high current startups.

Running additional equipment from the same generator means you will need to

know the total electrical requirements before selecting the correct size of

generator. For details on selecting and purchasing a generator, please call

INTEC.

Note: Using a generator of insufficient size will void your Warranty.

Cord Current Capacities, Type S & SVT

The length of cord and ambient temperature does have an effect on the

electrical current capacity. Consult Intec for your specific needs or your local

electrical distributor.

THE FORCE/2Maintenance

Reasonable preventive maintenance will help ensure your FORCE/2 gives you

many years of satisfactory use. Cleaning the interior and exterior of your machine

and protecting its finish with a product such as Armor All will keep it looking new.

CORDS AND SWITCHES

The remote cord and switches are subject to considerable wear and tear during

normal use. Inspect all cords and switches each week for cuts or loose connections.

Repair or replace any damaged components at once to avoid possible injury.

AIRLOCK BLOW BACK

Airlock seals are the most important component of keeping your FORCE/2

running in original condition. Airlock seals function much like the rings in a car

engine, keeping pressure and air from escaping. When a seal or plate is damaged,

air from the blower will escape back into the hopper causing “blow back.” Blow

back will result in a considerable decrease in production.

Checking for blow back; unplug the machine from electrical power and empty all

insulation material from the hopper. Block the hose outlet with duct tape, or use

the palm of your hand. Reconnect the power and

turn on both the blower and agitator motor. A hissing or puffing sound of air

escaping into the hopper indicates blow back.

In addition, any insulation material remaining

in the airlock will blow back into the hopper,

creating dust. To remedy blow back, it is

necessary to replace the airlock seals or plates.

Note: Your FORCE/2 comes from the factory

preset to produce 3.2-4.8 PSI. You may purchase

a pressure gauge from Intec to aid in determining

the pressure developed by the blower and airlock, system.

THE FORCE/2Maintenance, Cont.

REPLACING AIRLOCK SEALS

We recommend changing the airlock seals every 300 hours, 200,000 pounds of

insulation or once a year, whichever comes first.

Unplug the FORCE/2 from electrical power and empty all insulation material

from the hopper. Seal replacement requires a 7/16" socket and ratchet, a 6"

socket extension and a 7/16" open-end wrench. With the machine in an upright

position, locate the seven 1⁄4*20 bolts holding the seal in place. Loosen and remove

the fasteners. Remove the damaged seal from the rotor shaft. Reverse the process

to install a new seal. Be careful that the direction of the seal is correct. Seal must

be equally wrapped around both sides and seated all the way down on the rotor

shaft! Snug down the bolts. Do not overtighten. Overtightening will cause the

seal to bow out at the ends producing uneven wear and premature failure. To

replace other damaged seals, reconnect electrical power and, using the remote

switch, move the airlock seal into the position for removal. Again, disconnect

from electrical power before doing the actual repair or replacement. Note: Do

not install the seals backwards. See pages 32 and 33 for additional

illustrations.

GEARBOXThe oil in the gearbox of your FORCE/2 should be changed every year to ensureproper lubrication of the gears and seals.

Changing oil in all direct drive models:

Model 22015 Place the machine on its side with clear access to the twodrain/fill plugs on the gearbox. Place a drain pan under eachplug to catch the used oil. Remove the drain plug from eachof the two gearbox chambers with a 90º 3/8 inch hexwrench. Drain the oil into the pans. To refill, pour fourounces of oil into a six ounce disposable paper cup. Bendcup lip to form a pouring spout. Pour a total of 20 ouncesinto worm gear case and 16 ounces into bevel gear case, and reinstall plugs using thehex wrench. Note: At cold temperatures, oil thickens, slowing the draining process.Leave your machine in a warm area overnight (eight hours) to make oil changingeasier. See illustration for the location of the drain/fill plugs.

BLOWER MAINTENANCE

Keeping the blower as clean as possible will avoid system overheating.

Overheating will cause lowered production, possible system failure and shorten

the expected life of your FORCE/2. Inspect blower brushes every three

months or 100 hours of use. Replace brushes when they reach 1⁄4 inch or less in

length. Change the brushes before the brush stunt touches the commutator.

When reassembling, the lead wires must be isolated from the motor frame and

any rotating parts. For optimum performance, new brushes must be properly

seated against the commutator before operating your FORCE/2 at full power.

NOTE: BRUSH INSTALLATION

After installation of new brushes, plug in machine as normal and set blower

speed control (variable speed) at 30% of full power, run for 1⁄2 hour. Set blower

speed control at 70% of full power, run for 1⁄2 hour.

CLEANING

Use compressed air to blow out motor and intake of blower every 20-30

hours of use to maximize blower impeller and motor life.

Blower Warranty Considerations. The following

blower abuse is not covered by warranty:

THE FORCE/2Claims, Damage or Loss

48

These goods were carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving our

factory. Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon

acceptance of the shipment. Inspect shipment carefully on the arrival for damage

to contents, shortages or equipment. In case of damage, save container and

packing material for inspection. Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit

must, therefore, be made upon the carrier, as follows:

1. CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE. Concealed loss or damage

means loss or damage which does not become apparent until the merchandise has

been unpacked. The contents may be damaged in transit due to rough handling

even though the carton may not show external damage. When the damage is

discovered upon unpacking, make a written request for inspection by the carrier’s

agent within ten days of the delivery date. Then file a claim with the carrier since

such a claim is the carrier’s responsibility.

2. VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE. Any external evidence of

loss or damage must be noted on the freight bill or the express receipt, and signed

by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately describe such external evidence of loss

or damage may result in the carrier refusing to honor a damage claim. The form

required to file such a claim will be supplied by the carrier.

3. SHORTAGE. If the number of containers in the shipment does not

correspond with the transportation bill, obtain carrier's notation of shortage and

signature on transportation bill. When the number of containers is correct, but

there is indication of pilferage, notify carrier in writing with a complete list of

missing merchandise.

WARRAN

TY

It is expressly understood and agreed that no officer, agent, salesman or employee

of the Manufacturer INTEC has the authority to obligate the Manufacturer by any terms, stipula-

tions, or conditions not herein expressed; that all previous representations and agreements, either

verbal or written, referring to the machinery and equipment, which is the subject of this Warranty,

are hereby superseded and canceled, and that there are no promises or agreements outside of this

merchantability, or implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose.

With the above understanding, the Manufacturer's FORCE/2 insulation blowing machine is sold

with the following one (1) year Limited Warranty, and no other:

a) Manufacturer warrants to the original purchaser that the machine is well made, of good material

and durable; but only if the machine is operated and maintained in accordance with this Operator's

maintained, or if the machine is used for blowing materials other than those which are intended to

be used with the machine.

b) Manufacturer guarantees the machine to be free from manufacturing defects at the time of

shipment, and to remain free from defects when operated under normal use, for a period of one

(1) year from the date of factory shipment, with the exception of the blower, electrical and airlock

components, which are guaranteed for a period of ninety (90) days from date of factory shipment.

THE FORCE/2Insulation Terms and Values

R-VALUE: The resistance (R) to heat or cold. The higher the R Value, the

greater the resistance and the better the insulation factor.

SETTLEMENT: All blown insulation will settle after installation. Your

FORCE/2 installs near settled density. Consult the chart on the material bag

for coverage and install accordingly.

COVERAGE: Every bag of material comes with a coverage chart

detailing R-Value ratings. Average ratings for various materials are:

Cellulose: R = 3.7 per inch

Rockwool: R = 2.6 per inch

Fiberglass: R = 2.2 per inch

CFM: Blowers are measured by Cubic Feet per Minute. A low CFM blower

reduces “dust” when blowing insulation into an attic. The FORCE/2 features

the lowest CFM of all insulation blowing machines, minimizing the “dust”

problem. You’ll be able to see what you are doing.

PSI: Blowers are also rated by Pounds of pressure per Square Inch. A high

PSI does a better job of blowing insulation. Your FORCE/2 produces 3.2-4.0

PSI which is the best for blowing insulation.

BRIDGING: A pocket of air, or void, created by improper agitation in the

hopper. A “bridge” can stop production until cleared. Your FORCE/2 is

designed with a non-bridging hopper. However, you may experience a

temporary bridge while using your machine. Waiting a few seconds will most

likely clear a temporary bridge. If not, unplug your machine and redistribute

the material in the hopper.

VENTILATION: Proper air flow requires one square foot of air

movement for every 150 square feet of attic area.

AIRLOCK SEAL: Also known as flapper, rubbers, paddles.
